      Hi, I have a cobalt 2, which after only 4 dives won't start a new dive. Screen displays tank pressure and depth but doesn't go into dive mode once under water. Any help welcomed.

        I'm going to start a "conversation" with you here, as this profile posting is very limited as to message length. Look for a ScubaBoard message.

      Ron, I tried to flash my Cobalt 2 but it wouldn't take the flash so I tried the bootloader method, the screen went black. Now I can not get the computer to doing anything, it won't turn on. I would like to unplug and then re-plug in the battery to try a restart that way but I don't see how to unplug the battery. Can you tell or show me how?

        I'll send you this in a message, as this part of ScubaBoard doesn't allow for enough text. Or check our section in the Manufacturer's forums underOcean Concepts.

      Ron, I guess you're the Cobalt 2 Guru and for that, I thank you. Got a bit of a problem. My battery ran completely dead. Now it will not charge or turn on (not sure which). I did the manual reset and the bootloader window came up as expected. I copied the latest firmware file into the bootloader directory and ejected the device. Nothing. Can you suggest anything? Thanks in advance!

        I'm going to start a ScubaBoard "conversation" with you as this area is very limited as to message size. 1st thought: are you doing the reset with the USB still connected? that will put it into boot mode. it needs to be unplugged.

      Dear Ron,

      I hope this post finds you well.

      I understand you are the go to person for Cobalt troubleshooting.

      In short, the compass has disappeared on my cobalt 2 screen. When I press the button it will let me set bearings such as 90, 180 etc, however no compass appears. I have updated the firmware and restarted the unit. I am now at a loss as to what more I can do. Any insight would be much appreciated.

      Regards

        Sorry for the delay in replying, I missed this as a message.
        If your compass doesn't display, it is because the firmware is not getting good data from the compass chip. There are limited to messages in this part of ScubaBoard, so I am sending you a message to help with diagnostics. -Ron

        No problem.
        I sent you a personal message (conversation) with instructions, as this comment page is limited to 420 characters.

      Can I get instructions on restarting a dead Cobalt 1, the 2 others we have started fine from a dead battery. One isn’t cooperating! Thanks

      Hi Ron! Browsing this forum I have realized that you might be able to help with our non-booting and battery dead atomic cobalt 1. Based on the other threads it appears I need to pull the battery. Any chance you could advise?
